Hey
sonkarnishantYour profile looks pretty good and I must say that you have taken a lot of self-initiatives in your academic and career journey. Clearing CFA exams is no easy task, so congratulations on achieving that the school really appreciates the same.
You have a strong orientation towards finance and the CFA shows that you’ll go above and beyond in the academics, which is something that can be highlighted in your applications.
Your work experiences look good as well, they are all in the finance field which makes your resume relevant and pretty cohesive. Although you’d have to let us know which brands you have worked with, as they make a pretty big difference in the application.
Brands will let us know what value you have created and it is pertinent to showcase what impact you’ve made in your position- what deals you have cracked and so, make sure you highlight that in your application while adding relevant figures and numbers to it.
SRCC is a great college so that strengthens your profile. Though, you haven’t mentioned the program that you’re targeting, but MFin and MBA are going to be a great fit for you.
The colleges you can target depends greatly on your GMAT/GRE scores and 680 is a decent score for Judge Business School, IE, ESSEC, ESADE, SDA but if you try to target a score above 700+ that would be on a better side, complemented with a strong application.
You can target most of the schools you have mentioned with it.
Apart from the schools, you have mentioned you can also target better schools such as LBS, Oxford, HEC, RSM, and other top schools. Although you’d need to score 710+ in your GMAT to target these schools.
Most of these European countries have good immigration laws, so if you target schools in any of the good EU countries, you can achieve a substantial Return of Investment.
Apart from Canada and Australia, you can target countries like Ireland, the UK, France, Germany, Spain, the Netherlands, and so on.
So all in all your profile looks good and if paired with a strong application, it can help you get into your target school.
